Minerpalooza will kick off it's 26th year of welcoming fans, students, and alumni back to the university for another football season on Friday, August 26th.

Sky (formerly of LMFAO); pop duo Nina Sky; local Spanish rock band SayVerse and the death-defying Motorcycle Globe of Death will be on hand to entertain the thousands expected at Minerpalooza. Local favorite Azucar will also perform, followed by the UTEP Pantastics steel drum ensemble.
